I have just got off the telephone with Chris Dorneden. As most of you will know, Chris is in Iraq working as a contractor. He operates one of the TOCs.
Chris told me that Jerry Lambert was killed today by an IED. The story is best told on Chris's blog site at http://www.campsomewhereiniraq.blogspot.com/
For those of you that don't know Jerry, he was a wild man, high speed, and larger than life, although his physical stature was not grand. Everyone I have talked to remembered his "stripper dance" the happy laughs that preannounced his arrival and that grin he used to welcome his friends.
This is a good time to remember all of our friends, over there, over here, and scattered about the world. What a group, what a family, what a ride. I am glad I got to share the ride with you.

Our condolences go out to Jerry’s family. Please remember Jerry’s family in your prayers. Please remember Chris and Rich in your prayers as well.
